good call trey - I agree

P A T I E N C E - Scot & Jay's goal here is to make this franchise better - it will take time they understand the need to change to primarily building through the draft - plus have some luck go their way

Both coach Mike Shanahan and Robert Griffin have identified WR Aldrick Robinson as a player that's standing out at camp.

Robinson has been called a poor man's DeSean Jackson by former Rotoworlder Chris Wesseling. A 5'10/178 vertical speedster, he projects as Pierre Garcon's backup at split end. Robinson could be an intriguing waiver add if Garcon's foot issues act up.

You know, at this point in their careers, I wouldn't agree that he's a poor mans Jackson. Is DeSean faster than him? Possibly so, not by much. But we've seen all we're going to see out of Jackson at this point. There aren't any reports of him becoming more versatile, the only thing I've seen is that he's prolly gonna do PR again.

Aldrick is still maturing and developing a well-rounded skillset and if he achieves it to a high level, he'll be a more productive player than DeSean. He'll be a lot less of a headache and diva too.

Aldrick has to improve on his run-blocking and his short/intermediate route running. If he does this, he'll force his way into the field. Hell, it looks like we're running out of room on the roster.

Confirmed playmakers that are consistent- Garcon- Morris- Moss- RGIII

Inconsistent playmakers- Fred due to injury/suspension- Aldrick- Helu due to injury

I don't view Hank as a big time play maker. Someone who has some sort of talent set that makes him a serious threat. There's nothing about him that is physically remarkable or poses a threat to a defense. In addition, he's kinda inconsistent.

That being said, he could grown into being a consistent/solid contributor.

Robinson could corral just 2-of-6 targets for 28 yards, and also muffed what would have been a long gain. Coach Mike Shanahan has said he's looking for more consistency from the 2011 sixth-rounder, and this certainly wouldn't fit the bill. Robinson has more working in his favor than against, but will have to clean up his game for the second and third preseason games.

He's got time. If he's doing that much better and practice and has shown consistency there, the odds are that it will creep into his game performance if he is given a chance.

And considering how many opportunities Banks got to display skills at WR, you have to believe Shanahan is going to give Robinson more than enough chances to show something.

Great points.

Mike stresses that he puts a huge emphasis on practice. By all accounts, the kid is nailing it in practice. In live games, he's a home-run THREAT. He will be on this team and will have time to continue his growth.

Reports out of camp yesterday is that he made the catch that was dropped against the Titans.

Garcon is ahead of Alrick in regards to the specific WR position they play. Garcon had a HIGH drop percentage last year, so... Let's not get all high and mighty about Aldrick.

I think who is throwing the ball goes into consideration too... Yes he dropped one in his hands, but rex threw it- his eyes were probably looking at the nearest db for the ball to be thrown to.. #truelife
